Harnessing technological innovations, Brock University and Tourism Niagara enable visitors to create their own Greenbelt adventure and download itineraries, directions, podcasts, GPS information, and photos onto portable digital technologies (iPhone, Smartphone) to enhance their experience.

High tech meets low-impact as visitors to Niagara’s Greenbelt access tourism activities online and at four major Niagara Tourism Centres. Visitors discover a dynamic Greenbelt by selecting activities from an extensive community database of Niagara’s ‘best keep secret’ destinations and experiences. Written and audio-based overviews of specific destinations or multimedia thematic cycling, hiking and transit tours can be downloaded, while Directional GPS coordinates automatically trigger directional information on portable digital devices.
